Courtney Barnett announces new album Things Take Time, Take Time

It’s been a bit since we’ve gotten a new record from Courtney Barnett. The Australian singer-songwriter released Tell Me How You Really Feel back in 2018, and she released a couple of singles in 2019. But the wait for a new album will soon be over. Barnett announced her third album, Things Take Time, Take Time, is out on November 12 via Mom + Pop/Marathon Artists. In the Rolling Stone profile of Barnett, Simon Vozick-Levinson writes that Things Take Time, Take Time “might be the most personal record yet from an artist who’s already given the world plenty of emotional truth.”

Barnett gives a glimpse of that personal approach with lead single “Rae Street.” When speaking to Rolling Stone about the song, Barnett explains, “One day I made a list of all the phrases that I could remember my parents saying.” The video for the track also features Barnett being reminded of her childhood, with her embodying her parents as she takes care of herself as a kid.

In support of her forthcoming record, Barnett is embarking on a North American tour starting in November, accompanied by Beduine, Bartees Strange, Warpaint, Julia Jacklin, and Shamir.
